I’m sick and tired of the Capitalist religion and all their fanatic believers. The Western right-wing population are the most propagandized and harmful people on Earth.

  • It’s always a good advice to stay away from that disgusting biz (all big tech), but a model alone can’t collect information and send it back to EvilCorp HQ, so you are safe in that regard.

    Personally, I have left Google 95%, but since they train on my data, I intend to use all Google products purely for social criticism, research and data on how psychopathic/criminal Google is, the criticism of Capitalism, the Western Oligarchy and their massive propaganda, how Ads are a form of mass-manipulation, and everything else that they wouldn’t want to have in their model dataset.

    Maybe just have googles own AI products produce garbage wrong research, and store all the noisy data on Google Drive. Go train on that, you f**kers…

    I admit it won’t influence future models much, so It’s more of a ‘feel good’ thing ;-P



  • Friendship between western people and other people around the world is important to stop political warmongering, so its pretty cool with all the new Westerners getting the “China not bad” experience, and also that we all see how far and advanced China has become on so many fronts (Still having work to do, oc). Let’s hope the two information spheres and people can mix a little now, and some of the deliberate and honestly hateful misinformation can be dispelled.



  • You can argue that a 4090 is more of a ‘flagship’ model on the consumer market, but it could be just a typing error, and then you miss the point and the knowledge you could have learned:

    “Their system, FlightVGM, recorded a 30 per cent performance boost and had an energy efficiency that was 4½ times greater than Nvidia’s flagship RTX 3090 GPU – all while running on the widely available V80 FPGA chip from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), another leading US semiconductor firm.”

    So they have found a way to use a ‘off-the-shelf’ FPGA and are using it for video inference, and to me it looks like it could match a 4090(?), but who cares. With this upgrade, these standard Fpga’s are cheaper(running 24/7)/better than any consumer Nvidia GPU up to at least 3090/4090.

    And here from the paper:

    "[problem] …sparse VGMs [video generating models] cannot fully exploit the effective throughput (i.e., TOPS) of GPUs. FPGAs are good candidates for accelerating sparse deep learning models. However, existing FPGA accelerators still face low throughput ( < 2TOPS) on VGMs due to the significant gap in peak computing performance (PCP) with GPUs ( > 21× ).

    [solution] …we propose FlightVGM, the first FPGA accelerator for efficient VGM inference with activation sparsification and hybrid precision. […] Implemented on the AMD V80 FPGA, FlightVGM surpasses NVIDIA 3090 GPU by 1.30× in performance and 4.49× in energy efficiency on various sparse VGM workloads."

    You’ll have to look up what that means yourself, but expect a throng of bitcrap miner cards to be converted to VLM accelerators, and maybe give new life for older/smaller/cheaper fpga’s ?
